I have cats and have come to understand this necessitates a certain degree of change in my life and home. For instance, I no longer put electric candles in my windows because there were just one too many busted bulbs I cleaned up.

You were a good dog, Cooper!
Cooper, you weren't the sharpest tool in the shed, but you were a good dog. You loved us all, and you only wanted to be with us all the time. You loved car and truck rides, and you never got car sick. You were a good dog. You never chased the chickens (just that one … Continue reading You were a good dog, Cooper!
